So the game used to run like crap and crash on Intel HD 4000 and devs did absolutely nothing about it. With Windows 8.1 HD 4000 received new drivers from Intel and the game does now run smoothly and do not crash. Don't tell me it was driver's fault because I run much more demanding games and they had no problem before on old driver. Devs never bothered to test HD 4000 and probably did not handle some valid error case. Intel masked it for them.

So now I'm playing happily for few hours until my saves got corrupted and I got kicked back to the beginning "daddy, daddy don't kill me". Integrity check does not help. This problem was known from beginning and people did recommend doing save backups but screw that. Devs still did not do anything about that for months since release.

Screw this, bugs happen but devs clearly do not care after you paid. Be aware of those risks if you decide to purchase and play.

Personally I haven't had any issues with this game, but I can tell you that a "Intel HD 4000" (if that is what I think it is) won't get you far in either Amnesia game, since they are quite demanding.

Yes, it is Intel HD 4000, the dark descent played through without a single bug. I can totally understand game won't run or at least display some kind of error like "Shader something not supported" but raw crash out of the blue is just bad error handling and gives you no info what went wrong. And corrupted saves after months of release where the problem was well known from beginning is also extremely cheap on devs side. What I'm saying is if you refuse to continue on my hardware display an error instead of crashing and if your saves are getting corrupted not because of drive fault but bad code - do something about it.
